This Handbook examines intellectual property (IP) law at a particular point in time. It takes a theoretical approach to IP, viewing IP rights though a variety of lenses; for example, IP as a public interest mechanism, the impact of the Internet on IP, and how IP relates to human rights, climate change, and public health. It considers issues of IP licensing and cross-border IP enforcement, remedies for the infringement of IP rights, the interplay between user innovation and patent doctrine, how IP limits competition law, and the possibility of privately ordering the use of IP. Some chapters discuss the emergence and development of IP regimes in different jurisdictions and regions throughout the world, including South America, Western Europe, United States, the Middle East, and Africa. The book also explores patent law, copyright, trademarks and geographical indications, design rights, rights in data and information, and overlaps among these rights.
